Plaza Vieja Provides Rich ABQ Culture and History

When it comes to Downtown Albuquerque or Old Town Albuquerque, Plaza Vieja is also in the center of it all. Many cultural landmarks and key places of Albuquerque are adjacent to the sprawling Tiguex Park. The residential area of Plaza Vieja offers many classic adobe-style homes, and everything in this area is close to many local hotspots.

Museums in Albuquerque—Plaza Vieja

The Albuquerque Museum is a cultural hub that preserves the area’s past and promotes the arts. They have some impressive permanent collections as well as world-class traveling exhibitions. The Albuquerque Museum also has fun family programming, free community events, and lectures from a variety of experts. Nearly anyone can enjoy art classes there as well. They have classes for children as young as 4-years-old and up to 55+. The New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science is also right across the street from Tiguex Park.

Places to Eat in Plaza Vieja

There are many great places to eat in Plaza Vieja. If you’re in the mood for pizza, you’ve got to try Old Town Pizza Parlor. They’re famous for their epic calzones, and gluten-free folks say that their gluten-free pizza is the best in Albuquerque. One Google reviewer, Bonnie, shared, 

“I visited this little gem yesterday, and it was AMAZING. They have gluten-free pizza, hands down the best gluten-free pizza I’ve had in Albuquerque. I highly recommend trying this place. My husband had the original crust, and he loved his pizza too. We will absolutely be back…. very soon.”

Another local favorite is Remedy Coffee. Their logo alone shares a sentiment many of us feel—coffee is the prescription for many things! Locals and visitors love their blueberry scones and their signature drink, The Remedy, a mocha with Duran’s red chile.

How will I know if it’s cost-effective to switch to AC from my swamp cooler?

Unlike some of our competitors, we don’t have salespeople come to your home or business to do an estimate. We send our trained technicians (the same people who will actually do the install) who know exactly what to look for when it comes to duct size, the layout of the home or business, current electric panel, and cost per square foot so we can determine the right move for you.
